Chapter 836 There Is only One Truth! (Many Smart Appliances Are Stupid Appliances)
"So starting from today, she will live in the office?"
Looking at Kujigawa Rise who was following Duanmu Ai, Lumiere tilted her head curiously, while Duanmu Ai shrugged his shoulders.
"Yes, we have discussed it with her company. After finding the murderer, she will live here temporarily."
In fact, Duanmu Ai couldn't understand Rishi's thoughts. The murderer could go to her apartment and knock on the door. This was a big problem. You must know that the security of the apartment is perfect, and it is impossible for others to enter. However, the other party was able to enter smoothly without being discovered. It was obvious that there was a problem.
For Rishi, this was obviously a very frightening thing - he originally lived there for safety, but in the end, it became unsafe.
What if I was kidnapped again?
It was impossible for Duanmu Ai to assert that this situation did not happen at all, so after hearing Li Shi's request, she quickly thought of a way.
Wouldn't it be nice to rent out the room in his office to Rishi?
Although Duanmu Ai is not very particular, she does not have low requirements for the place where she lives. The office she works in is a three-story office building. The first floor is a closed coffee shop, the second floor is the office, and the third floor is It's a house, and since only Duanmu Ai and Lumière are using it, there are several vacant rooms.
Of course, generally speaking, this kind of place would be a bit dangerous, but Duanmu Ai was not afraid. In fact, the first floor looked like a closed cafe, but it was actually a gathering place for electronic demons. The electronic demons nearby were having fun down there every day, and by the way, they also took on the responsibility of guarding Duanmu Ai.
From this point of view, Duanmu Ai's office is safer than the government agencies and the prime minister's official residence here.
So Duanmu Ai and Li Shi discussed it and said that they would simply let her move into the third floor of the office and find a room to rent. Although the room was definitely a bit smaller than that apartment, at least it had everything it needed, and safety was guaranteed. After hearing Duanmu Ai's suggestion, Kujigawa Rise's eyes shone and he nodded vigorously, so he That's settled.
Then the two returned to the apartment to pack up and bow, and then came to the office.
"Well, there happens to be enough empty rooms..."
While saying this, Lumière took out a key and handed it over.
"Just this one."
"Then I'll pack my things first!"
After taking the key, Kujigawa Rise couldn't wait to go upstairs with the salute, while Duanmu Ai yawned and sat next to Lumière.
"Thank you, do you have any clues?"
"Hmm... I haven't found the intersection between Kujigawa Rise and Yamano Anchor yet."
"Yeah, I asked too, but she said she didn't know any Shanye anchor at all."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Ai also frowned. She had always thought that the victims of the serial killings were all related to the original victim, Yamano Anchor, but after asking Rise, the latter said that she had never seen any Yamano Anchor at all— ——Although as an idol, she has to accept many interviews every day, but if anchor Yamano interviewed her, Rise would never forget it.
"Not only Miss Rise, the last victim also had no contact with Anchor Yamano."
"It's really troublesome. Don't you have anything in common?"
"If there is something in common, they all have been on TV."
"……………Aha?"
Duanmu Ai was stunned for a moment after hearing Lumi Ai's answer.
"What's the meaning?"
"That's what I mean. I investigated the circumstances of all the victims, and found that the only thing they had in common was that they had been on TV, for example..."
As she spoke, Lumiere opened a video, which showed anchor Yamano being interviewed. The content seemed to be about her affair with a certain congressman.
"Next is the second victim. She was interviewed as the first discoverer of the murder of anchor Yamano."
Soon, another video opened, in which a woman in uniform could be seen facing the camera and telling the situation when she found the body. Of course, the female student was mosaicd and her voice was changed, but since Lumière Pretty sure, it should be right.
"What about the third one? Is that... the man?"
Duanmu Ai didn't want to think of the steamy bathroom and the figure wearing a crotch cloth.
"it's here."
Lumière opened the third video. This was an evening news. The content mainly talked about bad boys driving cars late at night and disturbing the people. Then when the reporter was interviewing the bad boys, a dyed-haired golden retriever ran over angrily and faced the reporter. A lot of swearing. If I guessed correctly, it should be him.
"it's him?"
"That's right. As for Miss Rise, I think there's no need to say more."
"That's because, as an idol, it's news if she doesn't appear on TV."
After listening to Lumière's explanation, Duanmu Ai rolled his eyes.
"Okay now, what should we do? There are so many people on TV every day, we can't find them all!"
"Is it limited to this city?"
"That's useless... It's really troublesome. I might as well go to the subspace to search again and see if there are any clues."
Although we have found common ground, this common ground is basically the same as having it or not.
"correct."
After reading this, Duanmu Ai finally remembered.
"Where are the guys from the Phantom Thieves?"
"By the way, the judge doesn't know yet, they are already dead."
"Dead? What happened?"
I have to say that Duanmu Ai was also surprised to hear Lumiel's answer. She thought it was strange that she hadn't seen the Phantom Thieves doing anything these days, but she didn't expect that they were already dead?
"Yes, according to the conclusion I drew from my investigation, one of the members of the Phantom Thieves, Kitagawa Yusuke, died at home, and Amamiya Ren and Sakamoto Ryuji, who were present at the time, were taken to the police station for detention and questioning on suspicion of murder. During this period, Sakamoto Ryuji committed suicide, and Amamiya Ren was hospitalized for mental reasons, and later fell to his death by accident."
"………What the hell is this?"
After listening to Lumiel's report, Duanmu Ai looked incredible. She had been thinking about playing the long game, but the fishing line broke by itself?
And how did it break?
Forget it, maybe he got into trouble in the subspace, so he died.
Although she was shocked by the death of three people at first, she didn't feel that surprised after thinking about it. There were so many people who died because of exploring the subspace, and it wouldn't matter if there were a few more.
"By the way, where is Gao Juan Xing?"
"She is very normal and has no abnormal behavior."
"Is that so."
Although I don't know what happened to Gao Juan Xing, she looks like she has escaped from the sea of suffering.
Well, congratulations.
I'd better ask her about the specific situation when I go to school.
For Duanmu Ai, there was nothing special to worry about on the first night back to the office. On the contrary, Risa was so excited that she had just returned from the subspace, but she was so lively that she grabbed Duanmu Ai and asked her to introduce her room. As a result, she fell asleep halfway because of overwork... Forget it, let her sleep.
The next morning, when Duanmu Ai got up, she was told by Lumiel that Risa had already gone to work in the agent's car.
It seems that being an idol is really not easy, and it's earlier than going to school.
For Duanmu Ai, there was no special change when he came to school again. The only thing he could say was that the desks of Amamiya Ren and Sakamoto Ryuji were cleared. However, for other students, they didn't seem to care much about the existence of these two people. Duanmu Ai talked to them and found that they all thought that these two people were arrested because of something. After all, the fact that Amamiya Ren was a violent criminal with a criminal record had been widely spread before he transferred here, and everyone saw with their own eyes that Sakamoto Ryuji had fought with Gao Juan Xing and even wanted to kill her. Therefore, most students in the class were relieved that these two people were not there.
"Ah, Duanmu..."
Seeing Duanmu Ai appear, Gao Juan Xing, who was originally melancholy, also sighed.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"I... No, nothing, just a little thing..."
Gao Juan Xing said, shaking her head. After these things happened, she actually regretted it a little. Maybe if she hadn't quit the Phantom Thieves, things might not have turned out like this. But unfortunately, it's too late to say these things now. She doesn't think Sakamoto Ryuji and Amamiya Ren will commit suicide, but the evidence is conclusive, and she is not qualified to say these things...
"Although I don't know what you are thinking, I think you should be more open-minded."
Duanmu Ai reached out and patted Gao Juan Xing's shoulder.
"After all, you still have your life. Their lives may be over, but you are still continuing, right?"
"Thank you..."
Hearing Duanmu Ai's comfort, Gao Juan Xing raised her head and smiled at her.
Seeing this scene, another thin man in the class had a blazing fire in his eyes. He stared at Duanmu Ai fiercely and gritted his teeth.
This boy was none other than Mishima Yuki—he used to be a member of the volleyball team, and was bullied by the teacher because of this. Later, because of the appearance of the Phantom Thieves, his nightmare ended, and Mishima Yuki also worshipped the Phantom Thieves. So he created a discussion website for Phantom Thieves CH, which is dedicated to discussing things about Phantom Thieves.
Although Amamiya Ren and Sakamoto Ryuji did not explain it directly to Mishima Yuki, Mishima Yuki knew that they were the Phantom Thieves. And because of this, he also knew that Amamiya Ren and others had secretly investigated Duanmu Ai, and that was after that, they were arrested and killed.
That's right, in Mishima Yuki's opinion, they were killed!
Killed by Duanmu Ai!
It must be this ruthless woman who discovered the actions of the Phantom Thieves, so she deliberately used some dirty means to jail them and then killed them!
Thinking of this, Mishima Yuki clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
I won't give up just like that, I must avenge the Phantom Thieves. The Phantom Thieves helped me at the beginning, and now it's my turn to help the Phantom Thieves!
Your conspiracy will not succeed—there is only one truth!
Staring at Duanmu Ai's back, Mishima Yuki made a decision in his heart.
My dad bought himself a so-called smart range hood, which has voice control. But I think it would be more convenient to just buy a button-operated one… He has to speak every time he turns the machine on and off. What’s the difference between him and a mentally retarded person? It’s not like I don’t have hands…
